If anybody out there in Hollywood happens to be working on a Devil Wears Prada 3 script, have we got a plotline for you.
It’s got an imperious but struggling magazine editrix. A billionaire fashion heiress. A disgraced British designer attempting an outlandish comeback. And, best of all, a wildly extravagant ballroom scene bound to go spectacularly wrong.
The Miranda Priestly character, of course, is Condé Nast creative director Anna Wintour, who lately seems to be stepping on one rake after another as she stumbles toward next year’s Met Gala. After last May’s fiasco — sanitation workers are still scraping away those “Boycott the Bezos Met Gala” posters anti-Amazon protesters plastered around midtown and the Upper East Side — Wintour, 76, promised to scale things back: a smaller guest list, less ostentatious excess and, ideally, fewer demonstrators lunging at attendees on the red carpet.
Then, bafflingly, she went and picked John Galliano as the 2027 Gala’s centerpiece. You know, the flamboyant 65-year-old designer who made Dior the most histrionic house in fashion — in 2004, he sent models down a runway dressed as towering Egyptian pharaohs — until he got fired and canceled in 2011 for an antisemitic and racist tirade in a Paris café so vile, even France considered it a hate crime.
